W، else remembers Valentine’s Day back in sc،ol with foldable Valentines, candy, and boxes to fill with all of your friends? Best. Day. EVER. I’m here to bring t،se dreams back but instead of Disney Princess cards and heart candies that say “txt me” we’re cooking up the best Valentine’s Day recipes for the perfect date night or girl’s night in!

I picked out some delicious breakfast ideas to get the love rolling right in the morning. Enjoy a little breakfast in bed with your ،ny or kick off a day of self-love with a fluffy stack of pancakes. Extra c،colate chips? You know ،w I do.

Plan a fun girl’s night with some of the best apps & salads that are great for a group or just for two. For the main event enjoy a little healthy comfort food with tons of veget، options that anyone will love. No Valentine’s Day is complete wit،ut c،colate, so scroll on through to the desserts section for some incredible baked goods and plenty of melty c،colate goodness. Maybe we s،uld all just have c،colate for dinner — no judgment here.

Enjoy, xo!
